From The Jewel Box # 17

October 23, 2007 7:21 pm / Leave a Comment /

We got back from the Witnesses Now For Jesus Convention last night and are taking some of the day off to spend with the kids. I took the dog for a walk this morning and the kids came along. Our son wanted to be like Daddy so he put on a hat too. He decided to get silly so he put the hat on sideways. Our daughter laughed and told him that he looked cute. His reply was,

“That’s just the way God made me, thanks!”

Punkin’ Heads 2007

October 16, 2007 8:08 pm / Leave a Comment /

“Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in
and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all of the yucky stuff– including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.”

The above is found on a little flyer that University United Methodist Church gives away to all those who come by to look at their pumpkins. Every year UUMC sells pumpkins right on the corner of De Zavala and Vance Jackson in NW San Antonio to fund various projects. For the last few years we’ve gone there as a family to take pictures of the kids playing with the pumpkins.

Yesterday was the perfect day for pictures. Bright and sunny, yet not too hot. Since we went during the day, we were the only family there for most of the time. As you can see from the slideshow, we got lots of good pictures and we had a lot of fun too. We bought one very small and one medium sized pumpkin for each kid. The small ones are for the kids to play with and the medium size ones are for us to carve.

If you’re in the NW part of San Antonio, be sure to stop by and get a pumpkin!

Fun At Sea World

September 28, 2007 3:37 am / 1 Comment /

Sea World of San Antonio hosted a neat little thing today. They opened up some of the animal exhibits to the families of homeschoolers. From 9:30 until 1:30 we had access to the dolphins, sharks, clydesdales, sea lions, walrus’ and killer whales. For eight bucks a head we could watch the animals and were also treated to shortened versions of a couple of their shows.

My favorite part is the dolphins because you are able to feed them fish and even touch them if they swim up close enough to you. As you can see, I got some really good pictures of the kids feeding the dolphins, but wasn’t able to get pictures of other things because my backup set of batteries were not charged. That did not make me a happy camper. Aside from that, we had a good time and made some good memories for the kids.

Our son recently had a hammer in his hand and said, “If you were to hit yourself in the chest with this hammer, you would be dead for the rest of your life!”

From The Jewel Box # 15

We’ve been getting a lot of rain here in Texas recently and the mosquito’s are loving it. Last week we spent some time in the back yard and got bit up pretty bad. When the kids get bug bites, Becky some times puts calamine lotion on them to help take the “sting” out. Once we got back into the house, our son asked for the “mosquito bite feeling better stuff.”
